  1. Working with a nurse who nursed you

    MrWarmHearted replied to imaginations's topic in General Nursing

    How about simply expressing your appreciation for his care (and let him know that you're better now)? otherwise, it will always be weird if both of you are quiet about

  2. Would EMT B help me land an er tech job?

    MrWarmHearted replied to soxgirl2008's topic in Emergency

    it depends on the hospital. But since you already work in a hospital, the easiest way is to ask your own hospital (HR or NM of the ER). Or ask to volunteer/shadow in that area to observe it first...

  3. offended co worker

    MrWarmHearted replied to frost99's topic in General Nursing

    Well it is good that you felt bad and already approached him to apologize about it. It shows that you have a conscience. Since he is still not over it, how about bringing him some food/baking...

  4. MDC TEAS scores for 2011

    MrWarmHearted replied to mocadell74's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the school. My school ONLY looked at the TEAS (and of course wants all the prereqs done but the GPAs were NOT looked at). However our class average for the TEAS was

  5. Help: Need Money for School

    MrWarmHearted replied to Alum08's topic in General Nursing

    You may have a hard time getting scholarships before starting nursing school. After you finished a semester/year or nursing (and perform well), you'll have a lot more available - both at school and...

  6. Certs to set you apart from the pack?

    MrWarmHearted replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    "The plans of the diligent one surely makes for advantage but everyone that is hasty surely heads for want". That's great that you want to plan ahead. I shared a similar philosophy/planning before I...

  7. Nursing students who do not understand what nursing is about

    MrWarmHearted replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Unfortunately some have to learn the hard way. Yes, being direct may be helpful as some people (especially guys) don't perceive subtleness/gentleness. But if they still want to be in their fantasy...

  8. Interpersonal conflict in Nursing

    MrWarmHearted replied to sweetmama81's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    oh and it may take several discussions with that particular nurse. . . you may want to first start off by asking to speak with her privately and then saying something like "it feels like there may be...

  9. Interpersonal conflict in Nursing

    MrWarmHearted replied to sweetmama81's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How about first approaching that particular nurse and seeing if you two could work it out? if that doesn't work (or if there are multiple staff involved), then approach the NM/DON and discuss with...

  10. Seeking advice from current RN's

    MrWarmHearted replied to jdchisolm68's topic in General Nursing

    A CNA course and then actually work as a CNA. Actual experience will trump book smarts (you'll eventually pick it up the fundamentals in nursing school). you'll pick up medical terminology along the...

  11. Nursing School Selection Process???

    MrWarmHearted replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps you can try applying at a different school. some schools heavily weigh volunteer and work experiences whereas others just look solely at test scores (no essays, no GPAs examined) - just...

  12. Nurse bullying

    MrWarmHearted replied to racastellanos's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If nurse bullying is what you see happening to you or another nurse, perhaps you should talk to the bully asap to clear things up. It may take several occassions, if that still doesn't work, approach...

  13. Torn between continuing my education and my family :(

    MrWarmHearted replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    That is a very personal decision that you'll have to make. but since you're asking for outside opinion . . . imho, it would be in your best interest to: 1) First, work things out with your husband...

  14. Unemployment Benefits when you are a student?

    MrWarmHearted replied to LuckyinKY's topic in General Nursing

    This is a state specific question - so it would be in your best interest to talk it over with your local unemployment office and layout everything with

  15. should I withdraw??

    MrWarmHearted replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    You should talk with your instructor/dean ASAP and have their input. And also explore ways to improve next time. Additionally, there are scholarships/grants out there for Adults returning to...

  16. I want to become Male nurse but am under qualified

    MrWarmHearted replied to GentlemanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Very good advice above - (to put it gently) yes in deed, you need to change your screen name as you are not a nurse (yet). You may want to explore all your options first - accelerated programs may...

  17. I need help!!!

    MrWarmHearted replied to kballiet67's topic in General Nursing

    before you jump in, perhaps you should contact an informational interview with the nurses in your area and ask them those exact questions. Then, if it still appears like a good idea to move ahead,...

  18. Why do hospitals care about health care costs?

    MrWarmHearted replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    unfortunately, in this system, there are costs that need to be taken into consideration. Like any business, it costs money to run a hospital 24x7,365 days a year, huge energy costs, staffing salaries...

  19. How hard is nursing school? Another question...

    MrWarmHearted replied to wnb4's topic in General Students

    depends on the school. some schools are very hard, others seem easy. perhaps you should interview - as in actually talk (either in person or on the phone) with students of your desired school (in...

  20. I notice a trend...

    MrWarmHearted replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    Since you're the new kid on the block, you'll have a fresh pair of eyes. You could also try being kind to each and everyone of the staff consistently. And if you find that one or more of them treat...

  21. Am I capable of passing?

    MrWarmHearted replied to lipstu's topic in General Nursing

  23. Hateful, mean nurses

    MrWarmHearted replied to CupCakeRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Try talking to them and working it out on an individual

  24. Questions about job searching

    MrWarmHearted replied to jorjaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed - and probably not the response you're looking for - a ring first BEFORE you leave your family and job would be my suggestion. You don't want to be one of those girls who moved to be closer...

  25. Petite CNA?

    MrWarmHearted replied to Hopeful1982's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, that is an excellent plan - working as a CNA before/during nursing school to get real experience in the medical field! When you lift, make sure you use proper techniques - you may often...
